Maybe take the cap off the winterizing (antifreeze) tube and put the tube in a glass of water. Then open the faucet and see if the cup gets drained. That should tell you if the valve is set correctly to draw from the tank or still from the tube.
Does your trailer have a gravity port on the outside to fill the fresh tank? If so are you sure it's full? If you open the drain do you get gallons of water coming out? The winterizing tube is to suck antifreeze out of a jug and push it through the lines and out the faucets. It does not put antifreeze into the tank.
What inlet tube are you blowing air into?
Maybe try unscrewing the aerator out of the kitchen sink and run the pump for a while. These are diaphragm pumps and are not damaged if run dry so let it run for a few minutes. I once helped my brother with the same type of situation and there was a bunch of sediment clogging the aerator. And this was after he owned it for a few years.
